Повний текст джерелаMy findings demonstrate that firms simultaneously draw on internal and external resources to facilitate their internationalisation. By leveraging their networks firms are able to succeed in psychically distant markets despite an initial lack of experiential knowledge. My findings reveal that firms obtain market-specific knowledge vital for internationalisation via their networks. Internationalisation knowledge on the other hand is mainly acquired through first-hand, in-country experience.
In this research I systematically document the types of institutional, business and social networks that impact internationalisation and categorise the numerous roles they fulfil. In addition to providing market-specific knowledge, network connections ‘unlock doors’, provide reassurance and comfort, provide credibility and help find employees, agents and local partners. Using networks to facilitate internationalisation accelerates the process in comparison to the traditional ‘trial and error’ method associated with in-country experiential learning.
The integrated framework I develop provides a more holistic understanding of how firms internationalise than previous models. My research has implications beyond the Australia-Latin America context as an example of the increasing phenomenon of FDI from and to non-traditional markets.

Повний текст джерелаThis study adopts a qualitative methodology to explore the meaning given by Leaders, Experts and lnfluencers and their perceptions of innovation in the public sector. The qualitative paradigm provides rich meaning to the research questions for the study which are: I . What are the perceptions of innovation in the Western Australian State Public Sector amongst Leaders? 2. What are the perceptions of innovation in the Western Australian State Public Sector amongst Experts and lnfluencers? 3. What are the barriers and enablers to innovation in the Western Australian State Public Sector 4. How can innovation in the Western Australian State Public Sector be enhanced? A phenomenological approach is adopted for the study which allows the structure and essence of the phenomena of innovation within the public sector to be explored. Data was collected using semi structured, in-depth interviews and data analysis using a phenomenological approach was conducted. This ensured that the experience and meaning of the phenomena of innovation is described and explained as faithfully as possible. The key findings of the study indicate that while there are pockets of innovation within the WASPS there is an overall need to enhance the capacity for innovation.
An 'emergent model' is proposed as a framework that can provide an enhanced capacity for innovation in the WASPS. This is achieved by addressing the cultural, structural and human resource barriers that exist and by simultaneously enhancing the enablers that were identified in this study. The 'emergent model' takes a strategic view with special consideration for the context for innovation within the WASPS. Inherent in this model is the need for a clear and shared definition of innovation; the creation of ideal conditions for innovation; and the development of an innovation action plan. Superimposed on this model is the need for greater capacity for, and commitment to, meaningful public consultation. In addition the study highlighted a need for strong and effective leadership throughout the Western Australia State Public Sector to enhance innovation. In making these conclusions it is recognised that this study is specific to the state public sector of Western Australia. This study opens the possibility of more extensive research within the public sector, specific to innovation. In particular, there is significant scope to explore the relationship between political and public sector leadership and the effect of this relationship on innovation. In addition, further exploration of successful innovation in the sector could better inform the type of agency in which innovation is successful and an analysis of the leadership factors that influence successful innovation. Further research regarding the ability of leaders to create an environment to enhance innovation within the sector, recruitment practices of the WASPS, and of resource allocation and its effect on innovation capacity is advocated in this study.

Повний текст джерелаMarine biosphere impacts the atmospheric CO2 concentration by two main processes: the biological pump (vertical transfer of particulate organic carbon - POC - from the surface to the deep ocean) and the carbonate counter pump (CO2 emission during particulate inorganic - PIC - precipitation). The objectives of this PhD are (1) to identify the relative contribution of different plankton groups to POC and PIC export at annual scale in regions of contrasted productivity in the Southern Ocean and (2) to understand how this diversity impacts the elemental stoichiometry and lability of the exported material.Annual sediment trap deployments in the vicinity of the Kerguelen and South Georgia island plateaus have demonstrated that natural iron fertilisation increases the intensity but not the efficiency of export. Diatom resting spore formation drives an important fraction (40-60 %) of the annual carbon export in the productive sites. The taxonomic analyses of exported diatoms lead to the identification of consistent groups that impact the preferential export of C or Si. During a summer cruise, we associate the relative abundance of diatoms and dinoflagellates to the N:P stoichiometry of particulate organic matter and highlight the importance of transition layers for C and Si uncoupling. The study of the lipid composition of export leads to the identification of diatom resting spore as preferential vectors for the export energy-rich fatty acids. At Kerguelen, the low carbonate counter-pump is due to the dominance of coccolithophores contribution to PIC export south of the Polar Front

Повний текст джерелаAustralien är en av värdens absolut största producenter och konsumenter av fossila bränslen. I ett samhälle där fossila bränslens påverkan på den globala uppvärmning ständigt diskuteras blir landets produktion och konsumtion föremål för debatt. Problematik uppstår när negativa aspekter av användningen, såsom utsläpp av växthusgaser, ska vägas mot ett ökat energibehov och ekonomisk tillväxt. Det är dock viktigt att skilja mellan olika fossila energislag vad gäller påverkan på miljön och analysera de möjligheter som finns för ökad användning av mindre växthusgasintensiva energislag. Ett sådant energislag är naturgas, vars användning ger upphov till mindre utsläpp av växthusgaser relativt den i Australien utbredda användingen av kol och olja.I rapporten undersöks Australiens framtida användning av naturgas genom modellering av konsumtion, export, import och total produktion fram till år 2020. Dessa förutsägelser baseras på anpassning av historiska data. Vidare undersöks konsumtionen av naturgas, kol och olja fram till år 2020 under inverkan av tre olika klimatavtal baserade på formella åtaganden vid klimatmötet i Köpenhamn år 2010. Modelleringen bygger även på ett ökat energibehov och en given användning av förnybara energislag.I rapporten modelleras användningen av naturgas till en konsumtion år 2020 på 1 739 PJ, en export på 1 493 PJ, en import på 321 PJ samt en total produktion på 2 911 PJ. Vid ett klimatavtal som kräver reduceringar av växthusgaser med 5 procent år 2020 jämfört med 2000 års nivåer beräknas konsumtionen av naturgas, olja och kol till 5 976 PJ, 346,8 PJ respektive 827,7 PJ. Detta vid en konsumtion av förnybara energislag på 481,4 PJ. Vid klimatavtal på 15 respektive 25 procent beräknades olja och kol nå nollvärden innan år 2020. I rapporten dras slutsatsen att det är osannolikt att något av dessa klimatmål uppnås under rådande förhållanden.

Повний текст джерелаThe thesis investigates the motivations behind, the methods used in, and the results of the overseas students’ collective action contesting the measures, which the Australian government introduced from 1983 to 1996. As a group of temporary residents located outside the boundaries of domestic political systems, yet within the core of Australia’s revenue earnings, overseas students independently mobilised in an attempt to influence the Australian Government policy on education from a position of limited political, social and legal rights. As temporary residents on short-term permits fully regulated under prescribed immigration rules, overseas students employed conventional repertoires of contention— they established formal structures, adopted action tools, framed their claims, internationalised their protest, formed alliances — in an attempt to mobilise resources and access existing avenues to influence government’s export of education services policy. Their mobilisation response and campaign strategy achieved modest success in securing some policy concessions, particularly during the early stages of education aid reform. Their strategy, however had to evolve as the fledgling export of education services expanded and eventually they shifted their position to fully embrace and reinterpret the government’s own ‘language of liberalisation’, which they used to greater effectiveness in making subsequent claims. Overseas students ability to procure concessions is derived not from their political or universal rights to education, but from their ability to influence policy changes based on their importance and strategic location in the Australian economy. In other words, government, universities and industry stakeholders have increasingly become dependent on substantial revenue earnings derived from overseas students and have become susceptible to potential chaos that may be precipitated if current students withdrew from the economy, or potential students choosing alternative education service destinations.

"Biodiversité de l'écosystème marin et flux de carbone autour de Kerguelen (Océan Austral) : le rôle du petit phytoplancton à l'échelle de la cellule Marked spatiotemporal variations in small phytoplankton structure in contrasted waters of the Southern Ocean (Kerguelen area) Small phytoplankton contribute greatly to CO2-fixation after the diatom bloom in the Southern Ocean." Thesis, Littoral, 2020. https://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-03178263.
Повний текст джерелаThis thesis focuses on small phytoplankton diversity (<20 µm) and its contribution to CO₂-fixation in contrasted marine ecosytems : the productive Kerguelen Plateau (KP) on the one hand and low productive surrounding waters on the other han. Iron-limited phytoplankton communities off-plateau are dominated by small cells all year long, whereas natural iron-fertilization over the KP promotes the seasonal development of chain-forming or large diatom blooms in spring and summer. Since the demonstration of natural iron fertilization on-plateau, the scientific community focused on large diatoms, assumed to promote carbon sequestration in the area. However, satellite data suggest that small phytoplankton dominate the phytoplankton communities outside of the bloom period on- and off-plateau. Consequently, this thesis had two main objectives. The first objective of this work was to obtain a precise image of the diversity of small and large phytoplankton after the diatom bloom (March 2018). A fragment of the 18S rRNA gene from small (0.2-20 µm) and large (20-100 µm) planktonic communities collected at discrete depths (down to 300 m), was sequenced (Illumina MiSeq) and used as an identity marker gene to determine the taxonomic diversity of small and large phytoplankton. At the surface, diatoms were dominant in the large-size fraction, while Phaeocystis antartica was particularly abundant in the small-size fraction, over the entire study area. As a whole, small phytoplankton communities were significantly different on- and off-plateau. High concentrations of silicic acid off-plateau favored the presence of a diverse assemblage of small diatoms, while high concentrations of ammonium on-plateau likely promoted the development of pico-sized Micromonas. Using chemotaxonomic pigments markers allowed the description of the temporal succession of phytoplankton communities on-plateau, dominated by diatoms from the onset to the decline of the bloom, while the contribution of small phytoplankton increased sharply after the bloom (less than 10% to 53% chlorophyll). The second objective of this thesis was to establish the relative contribution of different phytoplankton groups to bulk CO₂-fixation, considering inter- and intra-group differences in the metabolic activity if individual cells. To do so, natural planktonic communities were incubated mimicking in situ conditions in the presence of an isotopic tracer (NaH¹³CO₃). CO₂-fixation by small and large cells was then measured at the single cell level by NanoSIMS and SIMS imaging (mass spectrometry with lateral resolution of 50 nm and 1 µm, respectively). Large diatoms (> 20 µm) showed highly variable growth rates with 19±13 % inactive diatoms, whereas small cells, affiliated to distant phylogenetic taxa (prymnesiophytes, prasinophytes and small diatoms) were actively growing (>98%). This showed that small phytoplankton contributed to 41-70% of CO₂-fixation over the entire area after the bloom. While small phytoplankton contributed significantly to CO₂-fixation and chlorophyll biomass at the surface, diatoms dominated in pigment and sequencing data below 200 m, indicating their preferential export by direct sedimentation. However, a body of evidence suggests that small phytoplankton, in particular Phaeocystis, may contribute to carbon export through aggregation, as well as via the production of fecal pellets from grazers

Повний текст джерелаThe main objective of this thesis is to improve our understanding of the different controls that affect the oceanic biological carbon pump. Particulate export and remineralization fluxes were investigated using the thorium-234 (234Th) and biogenic barium (Baxs) proxies.In the North Atlantic, the highest particulate organic carbon (POC) export fluxes were associated to biogenic (biogenic silica or calcium carbonate) and lithogenic minerals, ballasting the particles.Export efficiency was generally low (< 10%) and inversely related to primary production, highlighting a phase lag between production and export. The highest transfer efficiencies, i.e. the fraction of POC that reached 400m, were driven by sinking particles ballasted by calcite or lithogenic minerals.The regional variation of mesopelagic remineralization was attributed to changes in bloom intensity, phytoplankton cell size, community structure and physical forcing (downwelling). Carbon remineralization balanced, or even exceeded, POC export, highlighting the impact of mesopelagic remineralization on the biological pump with a near-zero, deep carbon sequestration for spring 2014.Export of trace metals appeared strongly influenced by lithogenic material advected from the margins. However, at open ocean stations not influenced by lithogenic matter, trace metal export rather depended on phytoplankton activity and biomass.A last part of this work focused on export of biogenic silica, particulate nitrogen and iron near the Kerguelen Island. This area is characterized by a natural iron-fertilization that increases export fluxes. Inside the fertilized area, flux variability is related to phytoplankton community composition

Czembor, Christina Anne. "Incorporating uncertainty into expert models for management of box-ironbark forests and woodlands in Victoria, Australia." 2009. http://repository.unimelb.edu.au/10187/5801.
Повний текст джерелаThe effects of each management strategy are not easy to predict due to complex interactions between intervention and stochastic natural processes. Forest simulation models are often employed to overcome this problem. I constructed state-and-transition simulation models (STSMs) to predict the effects of alternative management actions and natural disturbances on vegetation structure. Due to a lack of empirical data, I relied on the knowledge of experts in Box-Ironbark ecology and management to construct STSMs. Models predicted that the development of mature woodlands under all strategies was minimal over the next 150 years, and neither current harvesting nor ecological thinning is likely to expedite the development of mature stands relative to growth and natural disturbances. However, differences in experts’ opinions led to widely diverging model predictions.
Uncertainty must be acknowledged in model construction because it can affect model predictions. I quantified uncertainty due to four sources – between-expert variation, imperfect expert knowledge, natural stochasticity, and model parameterization – to determine which source caused the most variance in model predictions. I found that models were very uncertain and between-expert uncertainty contributed the majority of variance in model predictions. This brings into question the use of consensus methods in forest management where differences between experts are ignored.
Using uncertain model predictions to make management decisions is problematic because any given action can have many plausible outcomes. I applied several decision criteria to uncertain STSM predictions using a formal decision-making framework to determine the optimal management action in Box-Ironbark forests and woodlands. I found that natural development is the most risk-averse option, while ecological thinning is the most risky option because there is a small likelihood that it will greatly expedite the development of mature woodlands. Rather than selecting one option, managers could rely on a risk-spreading approach where the majority of land is allocated to no-cutting National Parks and a small amount of land is allocated to the other two harvesting strategies. This would allow managers to collect monitoring data for all management strategies in order to learn about effects of harvesting and update model predictions through time using adaptive management.
